Our daughter is allowed on a friday afternoon to watch youtube on the iMac for half an hour. Whilst it doesnt have to be youtube could you recommend some decent online learning resources thanks

What age? For an under-5, the Cbeebies website is pretty fab, esp sites like Alphablocks. Best one we found, though, is called Starfall.com. It's American, so you have to put up with a few 'incorrect' pronunciations and spellings, but other than that it's wonderful. It's mainly/originally a phonics and reading site, but I've recently discovered they've got a whole numeracy section as well. It was recommended to us by a primary school teacher when we went to look round DS's school, and it is largely responsible for the fact that he can now read fluently at age 4.

We use you tube here for phonics etc. I'm posting from my phone so can't link you, but get onto youtube and search for kidstv123, loads of fab songs on there for phonics, numbers, colours, days of the week songs etc etc.
My ds's love it and often request 'the phonics song' over tv programs (I have a pc wired into my tv)
IME young children respond well to song. My ds2 learnt his alaphbet, phonics sounds, counting to 20, days of the week, animal sounds, animal babies, colours, shapes and more with the help of you tube. He is 3.5yrs.
I am a TA in an early years asd class and we use it a lot at school too. Is a fab tool.
